Autoflowers have a ruderalis genetics. That's why they automatically flower those plants come from the Arctic circle high in the northern hemisphere and from mountainous regions from high elevations. The sun never sets, but it does fluctuate in spectrum and intensity

Due to high elevation they generally speaking have very high tolerance to UV compared to photoperiods. Useful for increasing efficiency of psII under controlled conditions.

Spot on, Organicwarrior420! It's wild how those Ruderalis genetics adapted to such harsh environments with those short, 24-hour light summers. Because they couldn't rely on the changing day length to signal the end of the season like photoperiod plants do, they evolved to just race through their life cycle based on age instead. That internal countdown is exactly what makes modern autos so fast and resilient for us today, carrying that rugged Arctic DNA into our grow tents. It’s pretty cool to think we’re growing a piece of botanical history that figured out how to thrive where most plants would just give up. Happy Growing Growmie🌱
